This was going to happen sooner or later, but it looks like July might be this year’s weakest month as far as horror releases go. Made up entirely of unknown indie films and a major theatrical release that has received little to no hype thus far, July really isn’t looking too good for horror. But while it’s undoubtedly a weak lineup, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of these films turns out to be a hit—before we get started with all of that, however, here’s what I watched in June:

Prevenge (review): Despite its interesting concept, Prevenge lacks meaningful characters and any real sense of direction—bloody and aimless.

Personal Shopper (review): Stewart shines in this poignant ghost story with traditional roots as it dissects the afterlife and what it means to move on amidst a terrible loss.
